Mahmoud Khalil and the Repression That Was, Is, and Will Be Do not wait until this violence comes to your doorstep.

I wrote about the kidnapping and potential deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, the histories of repression this case is built upon, and the new and horrifying moment we are experiencing.

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

Hi I’m a hairstylist in #rva desperately trying to get off IG. I offer gender neutral hair services, and discounts for cash payments. Mention you found me on Bluesky to receive an additional 10% off. I also offer trades for comparable goods and services.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, β€œChalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Did you know that it’s practically illegal to be unhoused?

To sleep in public spaces & panhandle for help, for groups to share food in public places w/ the unhoused, & more.

Yet housing & renting costs are skyrocketing. Our officials make laws that often hurt us vs. help us. What can we do?

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Om Kreem Kalikayai Namah 108 Times | Powerful Kali Mantra With Lyrics | Durga Mantra
YouTube video by Rajshri Soul Om Kreem Kalikayai Namah 108 Times | Powerful Kali Mantra With Lyrics | Durga Mantra

Kali mantra for embracing feminine anger, the true type of anger that comes from loving deeply. Kali mantra for dismantling and destroying systems that do not serve. An end to patriarchy, colonialism. And end to ego driven society.

Also balancing being anticapitalist and β€œknowing my worth” whatever the fuck that means. Giving everyone a discount because it sucks out there/ going home and realizing i left none of that money for myself. Being a good boss to me, but not at the expense of the community.

As a small business owner (micro business, self-employed hairstylist no employees) I’m searching for ways to run my business without IG. It’s difficult-It’s a free way to advertise, get info out to my clients quickly. But I know that plenty of people ran businesses pre social media.
